At approximately 4:57 p.m. a vehicle hit a fire hydrant in the area. This damage resulted in the loss of pressure and water service to many customers feeding the affected areas.
There has been no confirmed contamination of the system. However, because of this loss of pressure, the potential of contamination exists.
Also, any ice made from water that has not been boiled should not be used for drinking purposes.
The CPW Water Department has repaired the damage and restored full water service to all affected areas.
Questions should be directed to Greer CPW operations center at 864-848-5500.
